Fat Bike

Post by hydev »

Hi,

I have been using my PowerPod V4 on my gravel bike for a while now - works well. As I have a Fat Bike I was wondering about the amount of power I would use compared to my gravel bike. If I mount it on my Fat Bike and do a calibration ride will it work enough to give me an accurate reading? Or will I need to tweak some settings?

Thanks

Use the Setup Wizard to setup your fat bike. Make sure to use a separate speed sensor so your unit can tell the difference. Post ride files from each bike afterwards.

Thanks do you want actual rides or calibration ones? I made sure the calibration ride for the fat bike was over the same route as the gravel bike.

Please send the ride files that happen AFTER the calibration ride.

Assuming that you are riding in strong winds, both setups look fine.
